Have you ever used audials, software whose main function is screen recording? In fact, there are four different audials products, so I would like to introduce the functions of each, their basic usage, and how they compare to other companies' products.
What is audials?
First of all, a brief product information. audials is a software that allows you to create your own collection of media content from the web by recording and storing media content from various platforms such as Spotify, Netflix, Amazon, etc. It can be used not only for general video, but also for radio and television. It features specialized products that support not only videos in general, but also radio programs and music files. As mentioned earlier, there are four products available, which we will introduce one by one.
audials one
As the name suggests, this is an all-in-one music and video software that combines all the functions of searching, recording, recording, and converting, making it compatible with all media. It also comes with simple editing functions (e.g., screen export). For this reason, the price is a little higher at 6,980 yen. (If you have an older version, an upgrade price is applied, but it still costs 3,990 yen.
audials movie
audials movie is a product that specializes in recording videos from screening services. According to the official website, it automatically detects ads attached to videos and records them at optimal quality and volume. The price is 3,990 yen, and the upgrade price is 1,990 yen.
audials music
Needless to say, this is a product that specializes in music. It automatically adds album tags and other information, and allows for high-precision audio editing. It can even create playlists. It may be faster to use a music distribution service since you need to sync the recorded files to your iPhone or iPod, but it may be useful if you want to convert works or videos that are not distributed to audio for your use.
audials radio
This one is probably the rarest of the downloading and recording software. It is a recording software specialized for radio programs distributed online. The functions seem almost the same as MUSIC, but the biggest advantage is that you can search for programs directly using the built-in browser and record them as you listen to them. You can also manage multiple programs at once and create a My Radio.
recommendations and disadvantages of audials products
Recommendations for audials movie
The most significant advantage is that it still combines multiple functions into one. I think most people who want to use screen recording want to enjoy videos, so I actually downloaded and used audials movie. I downloaded and used audials movie and found it easy to operate. I think it depends on the length and quality of the video, but it was completed quite quickly. It would be even more convenient if functions such as editing were added.
Disadvantages of using audials movie
High price
As I mentioned earlier, if you purchase the all-in-one version, it costs almost 7,000 yen, so it is not something you can easily try. A free trial version is also available for download, but it can only record 10 minutes of video, so it is only possible to record a single YouTube video. If you simply want to download a video and enjoy it at home, you don't need features such as editing and format conversion, and you may hesitate to pay for them. I am sure there are many people who hesitate to pay for such functions.
No support for iOS.
After checking the official website, it seems that an app for playback exists for audials radio, but for the other products, only Windows is supported. For your information, the operating environment is as follows
Windows 10-11
1GHz or faster CPU
2GB or more memory (4GB or more recommended)
1GB or more free disk space broadband
Unfortunately, iOS users are not yet supported.
Built-in browser may not be able to record
This is review information from the Internet, but there was information that the screen went black when trying to record videos from a certain major pay-per-view platform using the built-in browser. Since I paid a lot of money for this product, I don't want any problems to occur when using paid content. It may depend on the user's own environment, but it may be a good idea to try using a different browser when a problem occurs.
Alternative video downloaders to audials
We have introduced a series of audials products, but while there are some excellent points, there are still some disadvantages that are hard to find a solution for. Now we would like to introduce some alternative software that can solve the disadvantages that audials has.
StreamGaGa
StreamGaGa is the best software for downloading video content from all kinds of websites. It is very simple to use and easy to understand, and downloading starts automatically when you copy and paste a link to a video and play it. In addition, several pricing plans are available, including monthly, yearly, and buy-one-get-one-free plans. Of course, iOS support is also available. We deliver high quality images as good as movie theaters with the easiest operation. We also offer a free trial and a money-back plan, so please take this opportunity to download the service.
